Umar Gul (3-48) bowled well in the final overs to make sure good work by spinners Saeed Ajmal (3-42) and Shahid Afridi (2-42) do not go waste as they dismissed Sri Lanka for 236 in the penultimate over at Dubai stadium.

Ministry of Sports has granted approval for the substitution of Suranga Lakmal with Chanaka Welagedara for the remainder of SL Vs PAK tour in the UAE, as Suranga Lakmal has been deemed unfit to continue on account of an injury.
